Jacob Zuma back in court next week as corruption trial resumes

The Office of the Chief Justice has announced that court proceedings involving former president Jacob Zuma and the Thales Group will resume at the Pietermaritzburg High Court next week on 23 June.

“To ensure the safety of all court users, members of the media and public are requested to follow all security procedures as will be communicated by court officials. For those entering the court, mandatory Covid-19 screening will be conducted. Attendees must ensure that they have a face mask on at all times.”

Zuma will be forced to appear in court after the Pietermaritzburg High Court issued a warrant in February to arrest the former president for failing to appear in court, but it was stayed until 6 May. Mantsha has since been replaced by well-known lawyer Eric Mabuza, who will represent Zuma in his upcoming trial.
